CANCELED: Preparing to Care

press release: We are concerned with protecting the health and safety of our participants, and the current community health status. Therefore, we are canceling programs and activities until further notice. Our Center will remain open. The congregate meal site will offer meals to go, and home delivery is available to those with compromised health status. Updates will be made on the website as we learn more about Corona virus in our community. We will resume programming just as soon as possible.

If you are ill, have an underlying health condition, a compromised immune system, have been exposed to the virus or have traveled to any of the states with more than 10 cases, do not come to the senior center or go to any off site programs.

No one is ever prepared to become a caregiver for a loved one diagnosed with dementia. This three session series is designed to help you prepare and plan for the future. Each week will feature local professionals who will talk about some of the challenges caregivers face, and strategies for facing those challenges. This is a continuation of the Preparing to Care sessions that ran in October, but attendance in October is not a pre-requisite. This is a free program, but registration is required.

Preparing to Care will take place at the Madison Senior Center on Wednesday March 18 & 25 and April 1, from 5:30-7:00 pm.  If you need respite in order to attend, call Jane De Broux at the ADRC to discuss options at 608-240-7400. Otherwise, please call the Madison Senior Center at 608-266-6581 to register.
